My guess will be

$\Delta S_\mathrm{(system)}$ : increase [because heat is flowing into the system]

$\Delta S_\mathrm{(surrounding)}$: decrease [because heat is leaving the environment]

$\Delta S_\mathrm{(universe (sys+surr))}$ : $0$, because it is a reversible process.

Please confirm if my reasonings are correct. Thank you

  • $\begingroup$ what do you mean by constant T in the title ? you must edit the title ( it is : "... is transfered in a reversible process ?" ? ) $\endgroup$

Yes you are right. Entropy of universe or isolated system is always generated (for irreversible process) or equal to zero ( for reversible process)

Entropy of system increase because of heat addition and that of surrounding decreases $\left(-{\frac{\Delta Q}{T}}\right)$.
